I’ve learned a lot in the past few years by simply keeping this blog. The act of writing things down forces me to think about them and helps me to see obvious mistakes. A new ‘problem’ arose last year however; a problem which my experience to date did not let me identify or repair. I lost motivation last year without actually realising it! I now know in hindsight what happened and can -hopefully- prevent it from occuring again.
Right now I’m in annother strange -and new- position: because of a wasted year, I’m now more motivated than I have been in years and all i want to to is train, train, train. Being this fired up this early (or late) in the season can only be bad news for next year if I follow my impulses (which I am currently doing).
So what to do? Save the motivation – if that is possible – or use it while keeping the intensity of my training down? I’m going for the second option for now.
